Hi guys, I am getting spurts of events trigerred by ISS Proventia, with the following vuln description: Vulnerability description In buffer overflow attacks, an attacker supplies data that is longer than the available space to hold it. For stack allocated variables, this usually means the attacker can corrupt other variables and eventually modify the code that is executed when the function in which the overflow occurs ends.
http://www.iss.net/security_center/reference/vuln/EMail_Generic_Intel_Overflow.htm They are from a trusted mail server so its not being blocked. Do you think this is just a true false positive or is this trusted mail server sending bad packets? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
